The objective of this study was to examine the perceptions of students and faculty regarding the concept of multiculturalism and its relevance in nursing education in two Montreal English nursing programs. A 40 item questionnaire and interview tool were developed for students and faculty, respectively, to elicit data concerning demographic information, general perceptions regarding multiculturalism and its relevance in nursing education and perceptions about cultural concepts within their respective nursing curricula. It was concluded that students and faculties believed that multicultural concepts are relevant to nursing education in order for nurses to provide holistic health care in a non-discriminatory way to a culturally diverse society. However, the extent of multicultural content varied in the nursing programs with several relevant areas lacking in both, including exploration of personal biases.
